Land of Jurançon wine but also of the Roussanne peach, duck, cheese and other delicacies, Cœur de Béarn offers delicious discoveries. Assiettes de Pays, Maîtres Restaurateurs and other small producers have forged a way of life infused with a sense of conviviality.

Conviviality and pleasure are always at the core of Cœur de Béarn. Traditions, local cuisine, gastronomy and music are a part of our daily lives. From Orthez to Monein, harvest parties, local festivities, classical music festivals and jazz concerts are but some of the many events that will enchant you throughout the seasons!

Domaine Bordenave

On the way out of Monein, going towards Oloron Ste Marie, the Bordenave domain is a few kilometers away from the village centre and the church of St.Girons. The estate is a family property which has been passed down through the generations since 1676. Today, it is the turn of Gisèle to dip her winemaking hands into the estate’s history. The Bordenave estate shows all the hallmarks of a family who want to make the very best wine from the land. In the vineyard and in the cellar, traditional methods work in synergy with ongoing technical innovation to make each harvest and each vintage the best it possibly can be. The estate produces nine different ranges of wine. Numerous concerts and exhibitions are organised all year round. Guided tours of the different cellars, explanations of the winemaking process, tastings and direct sales are all on offer for visitors.
